Thanks for clarifying. Would you agree that the Alaskan edition would be the best suited if you are ordering a plow truck?

Alaskan does not come with plow mount.  Chevrolet teamed up with boss for that media event.

I was wondering what the wiring harness does to help the electricial situation on a 2020. <y secondary battery keeps going dead after about 40minutes, chevy forgot to install harness so took it in to have it put on. But I dont think it would help? It says it helps only with black out on the center screen. But Boss says it will help with battery issues? I have the dual batteries with the 220 alternator without the second alternator, maybe that was a mistake.

Just got the plow all set up on the new beast!

 

I was surprised at how very little they had to cut into the air dam on the front. Front end design is much more plow friendly when compared to previous generations. I also can't even see the plow lights over the hood because the truck is so tall.

 

Bring on the snow!

Any pics of the front end with the plow mount only?

Nice unit man. Those stainless plows are nice and light. I have stainless 8' Fisher XT V-plow on a 2015 Silverado with a Truck-Craft aluminum dump bed/sander. Just ordered a Caterpillar 950M with a 12-18' 6-way AMI plow with the new "fluid edge" which should be ready for pick-up tomorrow or early next week. And I have a 2015 John Deere 644K with a 12-18' AMI plow and snow tires also. I have over 20 contracts for this year for plowing and sanding. If anyone needs and help or questions with snow removal work I would be happy to help you out.  

Boss 8'2'  Stainless is actually heavier based on BOSS web spec sheet::   Poly: 795 lb      Stainless :  823 lb      Steel : 785 lb

 https://www.bossplow.com/en/products/truck-equipment/power-v-xt-plow                                      Here's my 2011 Sierra 2500HD w/8-2 boss VXT- bought a 2019 GMC 3500HD last year and put the mount on it so I could use plow on  on either truck

I was going to put a Fisher on my 2023 Denali until I found out how much of the bumper would need to be cut off to make it work... I started to notch the valance... Until I realized how much cutting would be needed to get the MM2 plow frame on...

Why on earth would you think it was a good idea to put a plow on a Denali 1500?  No plow prep, and they have those active shocks.

From his profile background picture, looks like a plow may be connected to his 1500. I'm speechless 🤣

Ok hard dude. People put plows in 1500s all the time. I don't have a business. It's for my own driveway.

They do, but you've got the wrong 1500 for the job.  A more money than brains scenario here rather, the 85K truck that by no means is set up or intended to plow with.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
